Breaking The Lines Rondo

Players:
6v2 to 9v2 recommended
 
Playing Area:
10 yards x 10 yards in which players form circle.  They can go outside the grid a foot or so but the idea is to keep the circle shape and not make the circle larger. 
 
Key Points and Objectives:

Players must play the pass through one line with every pass.  The pass has to cross a line before it is received by another teammate. Players are forced to increase their passing vision when lines are removed in the progressions.  The game becomes harder with the removal some lines.

 

Note: The set-up works better with tape or string/rope on the floor to create the zones.  You can use cones to define the outside grid space.  The ball needs to roll freely over the zones so cones do not work well for marking inside lines.

 

Breaking The Lines Exercise A) Notice the circle is split into six zones. 

 
 

Breaking The Lines Rondo Exercise B) Notice the circle is now only split into four zones.  This is the logical next progression to exercise "A".
